Chapter 3: The Jade and Glass Body
1460 Words
"Mrs. Mel, take Aiven back, I will announce the exam results tomorrow."
Mrs. Linda cast a simple healing spell on Aiven, but the forced use of the magic pen kept his frail body in a state of unconsciousness.
"Mrs. Linda! Is Aiven... is he okay?" Mel worriedly asked, looking at the little Aiven in her arms.
"Don't worry, I've cast a healing spell on him. He should wake up after resting for the night."
"Thank you, thank you, Mrs. Linda!"
While Wang Shuo was unconscious, he received the first "Disaster Value" reward from the system in his dreams!
"Ding~ Break and then establish, face the difficulties head-on~ Congratulations to the host for earning 10 points of Disaster Value."
Wang Shuo inwardly complained... I almost lost half my life, and I only got 10 points of Disaster Value?
But when he saw the skill tree available for learning in the system, his mood slightly improved.
Behind the items of heart methods, spells, divine abilities, spirit beasts, immortal weapons, pills, and treasures on the skill tree, a square box lit up, indicating that they could be learned.
Wang Shuo carefully browsed through them and decided to use the first Disaster Value he earned to exchange for pills.
He already had the "Wan Jie Po Ti" heart method, so he didn't need any others for now.
Spells would be too difficult for his current body and abilities to cast.
Divine abilities would have to wait until his cultivation reached the "Foundation Establishment" stage.
Spirit beasts? Didn't the newbie gift pack give him a spirit beast egg?
As for immortal weapons and treasures... Forget it. As the saying goes, "An ordinary man is not guilty, but he is guilty for possessing a treasure." If he, being weak, had some divine weapon, wouldn't it invite unnecessary danger?
In summary, Wang Shuo felt that the first thing he needed to address was his weak body.
"Exchange for pills!"
After he put all 10 points of Disaster Value into the "Pills" column, the system tree began to change.
The options that were originally hidden in the thick mist gradually became bright.
"Thousand-Year Snow Lotus Pill... Bone Cleaning and Marrow Washing Pill... Yuan Yang Da Huan Pill?"
Looking at the three options provided by the system, Wang Shuo didn't hesitate and resolutely chose the "Bone Cleaning and Marrow Washing Pill."
The reason was simple, because the "Bone Cleaning and Marrow Washing Pill" was in perfect harmony with the "Wan Jie Po Ti" he was cultivating.
"Bone Cleaning and Marrow Washing," as the name suggests, after taking this pill, the user would experience the inhuman pain of scraping bones and drawing out marrow!
However, once this pain was over, the user's body would be reborn, clean and free of any impurities!
After Wang Shuo made his choice, a small black and translucent pill appeared in his sea of consciousness.
"Is this... the Bone Cleaning and Marrow Washing Pill?"
Without hesitation, Wang Shuo directly threw the pill into his mouth.
The pill dissolved as soon as it touched his tongue, saving him the trouble of swallowing.
However... after taking this pill, Wang Shuo realized that the pain caused by the magic pen was nothing compared to this...
"Ugh!!"
...
Just after Mel placed Aiven on her bed, the originally sleeping Aiven suddenly began to convulse violently, foaming at the mouth.
"Ah? Aiven? What's wrong with you?! Someone, come quickly!"
Hearing Mel's call, the door to the room was quickly opened.
A man in a black robe appeared at the doorway.
Seeing the man, Mel hurriedly called out: "Lait, quickly check on our child! What's wrong with him?!"
It turned out that the man who entered was Aiven Leopold's father, Lait Leopold.
"What's wrong with him?"
As a mid-level mage, Lait could cast healing spells of considerable quality. But at this moment, seeing Aiven's painful appearance, his eyes showed not urgency and concern, but a trace of... disgust.
"Lait! No matter what, he's your child! How can you just stand by and watch him suffer? What should we do? What's going on? Ugh..."
Mel, seeing her son's terrifying appearance and her husband standing by indifferently, finally burst into tears.
"What exactly happened just now? How did he suddenly become like this?"
Lait impatiently frowned and examined Aiven's body.
"Aiven... he just finished the Imperial Magic History exam... he... he answered the entire paper with his hand..."
Mel choked as she recounted what happened in the exam room.
Lait listened with a look of surprise: "He answered the entire paper with his hand? Really?"
Mentioning the exam, Mel suddenly thought of Mrs. Linda.
"Yes! Mrs. Linda... I'll go find Mrs. Linda!"
Mrs. Linda, who was grading the papers, lived in the Leopold family's mansion, and soon arrived at Aiven's room.
At this moment, half an hour had passed since Aiven's "illness," but no matter what Mrs. Linda tried, she couldn't alleviate his pain.
In fact, Wang Shuo in the dream was also experiencing a rebirth!
"Ah!!"
He was rolling around on the ground in his sea of consciousness, screaming in agony.
He felt as if there were thousands of small knives scraping his bones.
His entire spine seemed to be pierced by several large needles, as if they were sucking out all the marrow.
Wang Shuo felt that the suction could pull out his soul along with it.
At this moment, he finally understood what it meant to "prefer death to life."
"Bone Cleaning and Marrow Washing... is it not over yet..."
Just as Wang Shuo felt his vision fading, the unbearable despair in his body began to slowly recede.
"Hu..."
Letting out a long sigh, Wang Shuo lay there sprawled out, not wanting to move a single finger.
At this moment, as the pain slowly dissipated, an indescribable freshness and clarity filled Wang Shuo's entire body!
"This..."
He looked at his nearly transparent skin and the shining bones inside, and his whole body floated up from the ground of his sea of consciousness!
"Ding~ Congratulations to the host, the Bone Cleaning and Marrow Washing is complete. The host has obtained the 'Jade and Glass Body'~! This body is immune to all poisons, water and fire, charm, and illness."
Hearing the system's prompt, Wang Shuo felt that the inhuman pain he had just suffered was worth it!
"Jade and Glass Body...? Hehehe... Is this a reward for being reborn from death..."
Wang Shuo in the sea of consciousness fell into a deep sleep, and Aiven in the room finally calmed down.
In the room, Mel, Mrs. Linda, and an old man wearing a wizard's hat looked at each other.
These people had used every healing spell they could think of in just half an hour.
But the result? Did it work?
"Mrs. Linda, you have seen a lot and are an authority in the Imperial Magic Theory field! This situation..."
Mel looked at Mrs. Linda, who said solemnly: "Unfortunately... this is the first time I've seen this kind of situation... it seems that Mr. Aiven's constitution is somewhat special."
Everyone fell silent...
"Oh, by the way, there's one more thing."
Mrs. Linda said, taking out a paper from her sleeve.
"This is Mr. Aiven's Imperial Magic History exam paper today. He answered the entire paper with his hand, and... it's a perfect score."
"What? A perfect score?"
Even Lait, who was standing impatiently at the door, looked at his wife Mel with some disbelief. "When did this kid ever read books about Imperial Magic History?"
"I don't know..." Mel shook her head.
"And it's not just that..." Mrs. Linda pointed to the last question on the exam paper. "He even pointed out a mistake in this question... I checked the Imperial Magic History classics from that year, and he was completely correct."
"This..."
Everyone fell silent again.
How did a child who had never read a book about Magic History and had no magic at all manage to do all this?
He answered the entire paper with his hand, and it was a perfect score.
In addition, he even pointed out a mistake in the paper... This couldn't be explained by "innate talent" alone.
Coupled with the strange illness just now... All these things were so strange...
Mrs. Linda turned to look at the old man with the wizard's hat behind her. "Professor Erdofin, what do you think?"
The old man frowned and pondered, ''Me? My opinion is... Keep today's matter a secret and observe it for a while .... After all, none of us have encountered this kind of situation before."
"Hmph... Trouble!"
At the doorway, Evan's father, Wright, finally left in impatience.
He didn't even want to waste even a minute of his time on this waste of a son.
